Marvel Studios (via Yahoo! Movies) has finally released the first official production still for their next comic installment, Thor, which is scheduled for theatrical release May 2011. For those of you still unaware, here is the film's (updated) synopsis courtesy:

The epic adventure Thor spans the Marvel Universe from present day Earth to the realm of Asgard. At the center of the story is The Mighty Thor, a powerful but arrogant warrior whose reckless actions reignite an ancient war. Thor is cast down to Earth and forced to live among humans as punishment. Once here, Thor learns what it takes to be a true hero when the most dangerous villain of his world sends the darkest forces of Asgard to invade Earth.

Chris Hemsworth portrays the title character with Tom Hiddleston in the role of Thor’s brother Loki, and Natalie Portman as Jane Foster. Additionally, the studio has cast Academy Award® winning actor Anthony Hopkins as Odin, Renee Russo as Frigga, Ray Stevenson as Volstagg, Tadanobu Asano as Hogun, Josh Dallas as Fandral, Jaimie Alexander as Sif, Idris Elba as Heimdall, as well as Colm Feore, Kat Dennings and award-winning actor Stellan Skarsgård. The film is slated for release in theaters domestically on May 6, 2011 via Paramount Pictures which will also release the film on a worldwide basis.

The screenplay for Thor was penned by Mark Protosevich as well as Ashley Miller & Zack Stentz, and Don Payne. Marvel Studios’ President Kevin Feige will produce the film. Alan Fine, Stan Lee, David Maisel, and Marvel Studio’s Co-President, Louis D'Esposito, will executive produce.

And here is our first look at Chris Hemsworth as Thor. Red cape; check. Armor chest plating; check. light beard; check. scalemail-esque arms; check. Angry disposition; check...

Only one word truly describes this... EPIC!

I thought I might find this over here. ;)

This is AWESOME! Very close to the comics, I love it!

I'm not worried about the plastic look to the suit, I'm sure that lighting and effects will make it real as Hell.

Great find Multi.

OMG! IT'S AMAZING!

I truly like the way he looks. As some people mentioned there is a slight plastic feel to the image (might be because of the studio lighting btw) but i think they nailed the balance between 'super hero' and 'mythical being'.

Some also mentioned that the red thing next to his hand might be a glove. The armour looks perfect (the circles in particular, i like the way they turned out) so having gloves might looks pretty sweet. Made of leather with gold threading and some red touches to match the cloak. The same idea would work for the boots.

Awesome stuff!

Wtf is up with the arm???? that looks nothing like chain mail! Really thats as big as he could get?! With all those hollywood nutritionist and trainers.... It looks as cheesy as what they did with the juggernaut. Please someone debunk this. His armor looks like the sh!t they sell at the Rennasance festival. Dissapointed. So So dissapointed. No wonder they have been keeping it a secret.

I had hoped for a more inclusive picture, but I'll take what I can get. Looks really nice. Can't wait for the movie!

The chainmail arms dont look real and are a little to tight , but other than the arms it looks great .

not digging the superman swirl or the rubbery sleeves or red cuffs? should have went sleeveless because anything tight hides muscle. the thick cape and chest plates look great though, and so does hemsworth as thor. i'm sure a full shot will look 300% better. he's slouched over in the pic.

FifthSun: Multi had already posted this in reviews. That's where he posts his articles to edit them before moving them to main.

Yours was killer also, don't let it get you down.

As to the rubbery mail, they might be using that as a platform on which to map a more persuasive and heavier metal.

OH... MY... FREAKIN'... LORD... OF THUNDER!!!!!!!!!!!

TAKE THAT!!! You take it and LIKE it, DC/WB!!!! You now know of the AWESOMNESS that is MARVEL!!! Bow before your lord & master!!!

And the plastic look is because its slightly blurred. It actually looks like a pewter finish, THE WAY IT SHOULD BE!!!

By god, if there ever was something epic in this world, this is what it'd be!!!

Have to agree with the concesous, chest piece and Chris look spot on, arms not so much, but with a little movie magic, I bet they will be great! Here's to hoping it's real.

it's a waste he's bulked up but has tight sleeves. should have went sleeveless like the top pic. that being said, his arms will look bigger from the side.

The arms look the same as the chest plate circles and they look like heavy metal. It looks like the sleeves are weaved with the same material.

Multi: After seeing this I have a definitive answer to your article the other day on which movie would do best, GL, Thor or CAP.

THOR for the freakin win!

This is so damn cool that it almost took my mind off all the oil heading for my beutiful beaches. Almost, not quite.
